Temple Filler
Temples are one of the most overlooked areas. Hollow temples = sunken eyes, lower brows, and an upper face that just looks…tired. Temple filler puts the structure back that aging took.
What Is Temple Filler
Temple filler is a treatment designed to restore volume and support in the temples—an area that often hollows with age but rarely gets addressed. As volume is lost here, you may start noticing things like sunken eyes, a wider-looking forehead, lower brows, or an upper face that just looks tired or gaunt. These are the same concerns behind searches like "why do my eyes look hollow," "why does my forehead look bigger," or "why do I look so tired even when I'm not." By strategically placing filler in the temples, we soften that hollowing, support the brows, and bring balance back to the upper face. It's not about adding volume—it's about restoring the structure that keeps everything looking lifted, supported, and refreshed.
How Temple Filler Works at Maintenance Bar
Step 1 — Volume Assessment
We assess how much volume has been lost in the temples and how it's affecting your upper face—eyes, brows, and overall balance.
Step 2 — Treatment
Strategic mapping is performed to guide precise filler placement and achieve balanced, natural-looking results.
Step 3 - Numbing
We will numb this treatment area with both topical and injectable lidocaine to make it as pain free as possible.
Step 4 - Aftercare and Follow Up
Your temple area will look lumpy and bumpy immediately after treatment, but don't freak out--this is completely normal. This will smooth out as the swelling goes down and the filler settles. We'll go over all your aftercare and schedule a follow up to check in with your results about 4 weeks after treatment.
What to Expect from Temple Filler at Maintenance Bar
Temple filler is one of those treatments where you don't look "done"—you just look better. You'll notice a more refreshed, supported upper face right away: less hollowing, softer eyes, and a subtle lift to the brows.
Immediately after: you'll see improvement, with mild swelling. Day 1–3: slight fullness or tenderness as things settle. Day 3–5: swelling goes down and the shape looks more natural. 2-3 weeks: fully settled—everything looks smooth, balanced, and refreshed.
Maintenance Bar truth: No one will know you had temple filler—they'll just think you look less tired.
We often combine temple filler with other treatments like facial balancing and Sculptra or Hyperdilute Radiesse.
Who Benefits from Temple Filler at Maintenance Bar
If you've caught yourself thinking—or Googling—any of the following, your temples are likely part of the reason:
• "Why do my eyes look so sunken all of a sudden?" • "Why do I look tired even when I'm not?" • "Why does my forehead look wider than it used to?" • "Why are my brows starting to drop?" • "My face looks more gaunt or hollow in photos" • "My upper face just looks… off, but I can't figure out why" • "I feel like I've aged overnight"
This is what temple hollowing looks like—and once you see it, you can't unsee it. The good news? Restoring volume here brings back support, softens the eyes, and makes your whole upper face look refreshed again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is temple filler safe?
Temple filler can be performed safely when done by a trained and experienced injector. Proper knowledge of anatomy and careful technique are essential for optimal outcomes. Our Seattle injectors — including Megan Bedker ARNP — have specific training in temporal fossa anatomy.
Why do my temples look hollow?
Temple hollowing is primarily caused by age-related volume loss, including decreased collagen and thinning of the fat pads, which reduces structural support in the upper face.
How many syringes do temples need?
It depends on how much volume has been lost. Most patients need about 1–2 syringes total, but if there's more significant hollowing, we may build it back gradually over multiple sessions.
What filler brands does Maintenance Bar use for temples?
We use hylauronic acid based fillers for the temple area. Our favorites include Juvederm Voluma and Restylane Lyft and Contour. Sometimes we will also suggest combining filler and Sculptra to treat the temples.
Can I combine temple filler with other treatments in one visit?
Yes, temple filler can be combined with other treatments in the same visit. We often pair it with injectables or collagen-stimulating treatments (like Sculptra or Hyperdilute Radiesse) to enhance overall facial balance.
